The highly anticipated Central Cee x Nike Air Force 1 Low collection is set to make waves in Spring 2026, marking another major moment between the London rapper and Nike Sportswear. A first look at the “Dark Beetroot” colorway surfaced during ComplexCon Las Vegas, captured by Instagram user @sneakerdenn, giving fans a glimpse of the clean, tonal design crafted from premium materials. The artist’s personal logo is embroidered on the lateral heel, adding a signature touch to the minimalist build.
Alongside the “Dark Beetroot,” two more versions complete the lineup. The Black/White/Smoke Grey pair will receive a global release, serving as the most versatile option. Exclusive to the UK, the “Dark Beetroot/Metallic Gold” colorway celebrates Cee’s hometown fanbase and comes with a more regal aesthetic. The Black/Optic Yellow/Racer Blue will be the Friends & Family exclusive, with only one of the two shoes being given away. Each colorway comes with co-branded accents and special packaging, continuing Nike’s legacy of telling stories through collaborative sneaker designs.
Central Cee’s first collaboration with Nike was the 2024 Air Max 95 “Live Yours,” which sold out in minutes. This is another example of the power of Cee’s cultural impact on both music and streetwear. Continuing this momentum, the upcoming Air Force 1 series is a continuation of that creative energy, with a more toned-down but just as audacious take on the classic silhouette. Release Dates:
